Summary

Reliable and enthusiastic graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, Film & Television and 14 years of work experience in customer service and creative industries, currently studying Digital Marketing & eCommerce and creating a brand for my T-shirt dropshipping business venture.

Since 2015, I have accepted work on a freelance basis as an actor in film & TV, editor, and guitar teacher.
